"The face of God is that of a merciful father, who is always patient... He does not tire of forgiving us if we know how to turn to him with a contrite heart... The Lord never tires of forgiving. We are the ones who tire of asking for forgiveness." (Angelus, March 17, 2013)

An appeal to the Holy Father for a return to truly Sacred Art

Sandro Magister carries news of an appeal promoted by the author Martin Mosebach (author of The Heresy of Formlessness - a superb book, you can order it from the Amazon link in the sidebar to the right). I've signed up (and it's where I got the idea of adding the MixPod giving you some nice Luis de Victoria music.

UPDATE: I have heard from the organisers of this petition who clarify that Mosebach is not the author of this petition but that it is the work of a team and is intended to be open to all Catholic faithful without distinction of position, thoughts, profession etc.

Dear Fr Boyle. May I, respectfully, congratulate you on your choice of magnificent music to accompany your blog ? The appeal to the Holy Father for a return to truly Sacred Art is a most worthy cause. I subscribe to it and wish it well. Rest assured I shall now "tune in" to your blog more often, to see what marvellous music you have chosen !!! [If you do requests, how about Lamentations of Jeremiah by Thomas Tallis, sung by The Tallis Scholars ?] Such divine music, art, architecture, liturgy, etc, can only enhance ones prayer life, adoration and devotion to God. Long may it prosper and develop further.
